1 stick no boot,,tryed my old case wired it up to mobo still no boot

if ram is no good would that make the board not fire up,,or would it still fire up but just go to error screen or summit,,damn i wanted to play crysis tonight :(
 
well no ram =no boot,
i think i gonna have to go crucial web site stick in the mobo and see the compatible ram
and buy a gig stick just to see if this thing boots up,its gotTA BE THE RAM the ata power connection are all in propally
the only 1 hdd and 1 cd/dvd burner all connected propperly
the pwr/reset/hdd light ect all connected in that Q connect thing(is nice)
the processor is brand new seated properly

the lcd poster is lit with cpu innit all time
theres power going through the board so its not the power supply because things on mobo lite up even the tourch in the case
gfx card has the 2x power connections connected
other then the ram i haqve no idea :( :(
